Shoes The Ugly Troll In My Wardrobe

[j_smith]

So I’m an office bound engineer by trade and every day I spend walking, sitting, occasionally running (if I’m late.. (a bit too often than not)), sometimes lurching in, once in a blue moon riding in...... my shoes.

Every day I come home feet killing me as my shoes have about the same level of comfortableness as duck taping flat rocks to my feet.

If I’m unlucky enough It’ll be raining so I have to be mindful to walk like a ninja up the stairs to the flat as my shoes have little to zero grip.

And to top it off if it’s been raining my socks will be soaked when I remove my shoes, I may as well have been wearing open top sandals.

Now I’ve had a look around for comfortable, waterproof, grippy shoes that actually look good and all I keep coming up with are things like these
Hi-Tec Women's Auckland Waterproof Shoes - Millets
I doubt they’d go down to well with my shirt and tie ensemble but then again I’m no fashion expert (hence being on this forum).

I’m so p*^&%d I’m contemplating creating something better.

Surely I can’t be the only one.. or can I? I’m not sure... so I thought before I go off on a shoe crusade I’d ask the question.

Anyone else as annoyed with their works shoes as me, or am I just being a wuss?

I mean all I'm asking for are durable, comfortable shoes that look great, maybe they're already out there?

Anyways I’d like to hear some of your thoughts.

Well I have a pair of Timberland boots, which are warm, waterproof and have plenty of grip. But, I wouldn't want to wear them at my desk all day.

When there's snow on the ground, my work shoes are hopeless, so I wear the TLs to work and change into work shoes in the office.

Simples.
